Cybersecurity sleuths have alerted users of 'Windows 2003' in the country to either migrate or apply appropriate security solutions as makers of this popular operating system have announced its 'end of life.'
"Microsoft has announced that the 'End of Life' for Windows Server 2003 is July 14, 2015...security patches and updates will no longer be available after this period for Windows 2003 and older servers will be more vulnerable to malicious attacks. It could amount to be risking both the business data as well as the intellectual property.
